Yea, I believe you can just "Unregister" & it will give your buy-in back.

But it pays you in T$.

re: Poker & The BLT

If you've won the ticket by playin in a FTP tourny where the prize is a ticket then you're stuck with it. I'm pretty sure they dont expire till 2020 though so you have lots of time to decide when you wanna play it.

Id rather have an actual BLT then the ticket.

Yeah, I have won 2 tickets to NAPL Rookie League on PS, you have to play another freeroll after that just to get money.

If it was the satellite to BLT, you can unregister and it gives you back tournament dollars. You can either keep the tournament dollars or convert it to real money but there is a commision rate of 5% if you want to convert it.

NAPL? I hope you're not drunk while typing, we are discussing about BLT.

On topic : I also ask the same question at my thread, if it can converted to cash ot T$ I think it's some kind of gold mine because satty to BLT is very loose play with only 60-80 players while top 20 got the ticket, interesting

Gday,

The BLT is a ticket Tourney as well as a bye in. So yes you can "UNREGISTER", and it will give it back to you in "T" Tourney dollars.

Onizuka -- yes this is a soft tourney that is good for doing this. The rake is also only .05, which is smaller than the other sit 'n gos percentage wise but basically has the same prize percentage.

Just for reference though, if you enter the sattelite using FTP (points) you can only get a ticket back even after re-registering. So make sure to only enter the satellites with cash or T$, not FTP.

i guess because im not bright i must be missing the point .why play sat. for ticket in the first place if you dont want to play the game the sat was intended for?it took me 30 min. to win the ticket and 2 hrs.or so to win 12 bucks.its a large number of people but you would be surprised at how fast it goes down.maybe im just slow...............

If you win it as a ticket or you get auto-registered then your stuck in it.
I had that exact same experience and at the beginning I've said, no I would like 2.20$ instead, but its a really funny tournament where you have the chance to win 1,000$+.

I've won 6.60$ at that point from that BLT.

Its just crazy with the blinds rising each 2 minutes lol with a 20k stack with blinds of 2,200k-4,400k you can't do much.

My advice, do your best and resist as much as you can!

Yeah, the BLT satellites are the best way to grind a micro bankroll. I play the Super Turbo MTTs at 12 minutes til the hour, every hour. ($0.55 + $0.05)

And the 9-man sit and gos where the top 3 finishers advance. ($0.70 + $0.10)

As mentioned above, if you buy in with real dollars or tournament dollars, you can unregister and you will get your $2.20 paid into your account in $T. Buy in with FPPs, and you will receive a Tournament Ticket if you win and unregister.

Lots of players are able to make a decent ROI by playing satellites.

re: Poker & The BLT

I've read several responses here, some saying yes, some saying no. Now I don't remember if I quaified for the BLT ticket through a cash buy in or through an FTP satellite. All I know is I've tried everything under the sun to convert it to cash, tournament dollars, or even use the $2.20 ticket to register in other tournaments (after unregistering for the BLT). What I've found out is THE ONLY TOURNAMENT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that I can register for is the BLT. PLEASE let me know if I'm mistaken, but I swear I've tried EVERYTHING!

Thanks,

Todd

If you have tried everything and can't convert it, then you must have won it through an FTP satellite or given it by FTP as a promotional gift. This happened to me too once (won FTP buyin satty). I don't play the BLT FTP satellites anymore, only cash or T$ because of this. In the FTP satellite scenario, the ONLY way to use the ticket is to play the tourney. I know, sucks right?

On a brighter note, GL on the tourney and don't forget you're registered! There's always a chance you could make a huge cash.

I made a preety good BR boost over SUPERTURBO (0,55buyin) satelites for BLT that are held every hour on FT.

Play is very loose, I know almost all reg players there and preety much
know which1 to call/push or when to fold . I think is best option for micrkostakes players. But swing can be brutal....u have only 300chips to play and they are gone fast

BLT tourney is a F*ck*n dokfest . I don like to play it.

I "think" I recall qualifiying with FTP, not cash, so I AM stuck with the ticket then. But good advice on the GL note, because there is some serious cake that can be won there, and it only cost me a few FTP to get there (which for all intents-and-purposes is a "free" entry with a chance to make $1600). Thanks.
